Three ocean sustainability projects to be aware of across the globe
Here are three ocean sustainability projects that any aspiring eco-warrior needs to be aware of.
How We Can Address Erosion and Disappearing Beaches
A problem that has plagued most coastal regions is the fast rate of erosion. This problem has been hastened by climate change, prompting stronger and more frequent storms that cause more sand to retreat into the ocean. According to a 2020 study, half of the beaches worldwide will disappear by the end of the century.
In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the “hard and soft” solutions being used to prevent beach erosion and secure coastlines.
How Seagrass Can Protect the Ocean
Seagrass provides various benefits to the aquatic ecosystem and protects its vitality by providing habitats for species, preventing storm surge and sequestering carbon.
Unfortunately, global seagrass meadows are declining due to human activity, threatening the security of all marine life. To understand why we should limit our impact on seagrass, we first must understand the importance of this plant species.
